Dear John & JoAnn & Family,
Edith made the the best gobs & had the most wonderful Halloween treats, she was always so good to us (Ellen, Annie & Jody Millward). I'm sad to learn that she's passed. You are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about your mom's passing, Jo Ann. She was a real nice lady. Have, ironically, been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing and where you were now.
